The swim vests are the same at all the resorts. They are the squishy yellow ones that buckle in front and between the legs for younger children. You may have to "check out" the vest at POFQ, but at AKL they are in a bin near the kiddie pool. Your children can go down the slide with the vest. The only resort slide they cannot use with the vest is the big Stormalong Bay slide at the Y&BC. Children must be able to swim away from the slide exit under their own power.
